CABIN SPACE AND ACCESSIBILITYThe AW109 TrekkerM unobstructed cabin provides space for the rapid transport of fully equipped troops and mission equipment in support of high-tempo operations. Large sliding doors on both sides of the helicopter, long foot-steps and low floor height enable rapid ingress and egress of troops, ease of loading and unloading of internal cargo, equipment or a stretcher on the ground. Fast roping and hoist operations through the large sliding doors enables troop insertion and extraction from the hover. Cabin door mounted crew served weapons provide wide area threat suppression.

The cabin can be rapidly reconfigured from Troop Transport and Cargo Re-Supply into more demanding configurations, including MEDEVAC, CASEVAC, SAR, SF/CSAR, Close Air Support and C2/ISR. An equipment stowage area, located in the rear fuselage, for equipment such as medical kits, keeps the cabin space free for cabin operations.

MULTI-ROLE CAPABILITYTROOP TRANSPORTThe rapidly reconfigurable cabin provides fore and aft facing crashworthy seating for up to 6 equipped troops. Ballistic protection as well as crew served weapons, such as 7.62 mm GPMG or Sniper Rifles, installed on pintles mounted in the cabin door, can be provided.

CARGO RE-SUPPLY / EXTERNAL LIFTWith the ability to carry internal cargo and coupled with a 1,250 kg single cargo hook or 1,250 kg / 500 kg dual cargo hook capability the helicopter has the capacity to conduct effective resupply and lift operations.

CASEVAC / MEDEVACThe cabin can be easily reconfigured to enable CASEVAC / MEDEVAC operations with space for 3 ambulatory personnel and a non-ambulatory patient on a stretcher enabling full body access. Attachment points and power outlets are provided for medical equipment.

SEARCH & RESCUEWhen fitted with 3 seats for hoist operator and para-medic, the AW109 TrekkerM cabin enables hoist operations and personnel recovery through the large cabin door. An optional mission console enhances situational awareness and search capabilities to further enhance mission effectiveness.

SPECIAL FORCES OPERATIONSFore and aft bulkhead seating enables rapid egress and ingress of a Special Forces (SF) team through the large sliding doors. The fast roping system enables simultaneous egress of two troops per side. The rescue hoist can be used to recover SF teams when in the hover. Threat suppression is provided by crew served weapons in the cabin door.  COMMAND AND CONTROL (C2), INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE (ISR)Battlefield C2 and enhanced ISR capabilities are provided by a mission console in the cabin that integrates mission systems and sensors. This enables the AW109 TrekkerM to collect, produce and disseminate time critical C2 and ISR information to the force.

CLOSE AIR SUPPORT/ARMED ESCORTClose Air Support capabilities are provided by a sighting and targeting system combined with the external weapons. Heavy machine gun pods and guided and unguided rockets provide scalable threat suppression capabilities to enhance combat effectiveness.

MARITIME CAPABILITYThe AW109 TrekkerM provides light twin class helicopter maritime capability. Lashing points and folding main rotor blades enable the AW109 TrekkerM to be secured during adverse weather conditions and stowed in suitably sized hangars. Ground handling equipment attached to the skid landing gear enables helicopter movement using handling systems. AW109 TrekkerM has the capability to operate within the electro-magnetic environment associated with ship operations.
